Back East Bar & Grill

We couldn't find a place on the way home from CO Springs and happened to see Back East when stopping at the gas station. I got a BLT which seems like it's impossible to ruin but most places actually do. I loved their bacon, it was crispy and flavorful and they didn't skimp on the amount in the sandwich. The tater tots are pretty salty but super crunchy so that made them yummy. My boyfriend got the Philly hoagie that he said was really good. It's a sports bar with quite a few TV's and casual environment. They have a diverse menu which makes it nice for a random lunch. I'd definitely go back.

Awesome hometown style sports bar and grill! Great food and variety on the menu and a full service bar with generous drink specials. Super friendly staff that gives you that "Cheers" bar feeling.

I am thrilled to have finally found a good buffalo wing in the Monument/Colorado Springs area. If you like buffalo wings go here. Haven’t tried the other flavors, but decent bbq, garlic parm, Asian, and whatever else can be found everywhere. I’m sure they are great here though. Really enjoyed this place.

I would give this establishment five stars in a heartbeat! BUT... the “hot” bartenders prefer to chat it up more than pour drinks. Two different visits and my wife and I sat for 20 minutes at a time waiting for each drink order, watching the bartender(s) do 3/4 talking and 1/4 serving drinks. We could see where our servers would collect drinks to take to tables, and we eagerly awaited the moment the “tail” behind the bar would finally get around to putting our drinks on the pickup spot for our server. They should work on getting their servers better tips by actually serving all their customers instead of working on just the bar tips with fake flirting. Fire the ladies and get professional tenders in there and the place will be an even bigger hit.

Great food. The waitresses were great and friendly. You have to try the pork belly. Holy cow. That stuff rocks. I will definitely be back. Food came quickly and they were able to accommodate our large party on short notice. A must go.
